Jean,
Congratulations on "Jux" and the acceptance to the Exhibit on Feb. 4th. I saw the picture of "Jux" and I had to tell you it caught my eye. Awesome job! Best of luck!

Paul

Jean! How wonderful!

I wish I could treat you to a beer in the Rathskellar(sp?) in the student union.

Keep us posted

Thank you Paul! I have to say that your depictions of firefighters are very powerful. If they are posed shots, it's very hard to believe it. You do a very important job, and to have such talent also. Awesome!

Hi Pat, I haven't talked to you for ages. Let's start up again? Thank you, thank you. Your newest drawing is coming along beautifully. It's been so hard to type, I've lost contact with many of my internet friends. Slowly, things are getting better on this end. I got my adjustable armrest last Friday, and it actually helps! It takes a lot of the stress off of my shoulder.

Mark, thank you! I'm watching the progress on your latest also, and enjoying your commentary.

Julie, I appreciate your congrats so much.

Thanks Kim, Jux and one of your smouldering sexy ladies need to get together. I think a show of hot men and sexy women would have tremendous draw!

Thank you Chris, without your guidance, I would never have gotten here at all. I can't drink any alcohol, but I will have a great big dish of Babcock Hall ice cream, heavy duty chocolate with raspberries!

Lisa, thank you so much! Again, Jux is going to stand out from the rest, as most of the show not traditional artwork. So..... I hope it goes well.

Jean

Thank you Janel! Yes, this is definately "cheesehead territory". Although my husband is the BIG cheesehead, I'm just a minor player. I'll take some pics at the reception and post them.

This show's theme is Madison and it's activities and people. I guess the judges felt that Jux was a real Madison type guy. I wish he could be here for the opening, but he's still in Arizona training to be a firefighter.

Jean
